Ontleding Van Het Filmische is a performance / light installation. In this performance, a mechanical light construction is built and carefully tested, with the ultimate goal of creating one ‘cinematic’ moment. This project is an ode to the pioneers of cinema: all the artists, priests, alchemists and scientists that passionately worked on the invention of the cinematic apparatus, an apparatus that laid the base for our contemporary visual culture.

Afterimage is a 3 channel video installation in cooperation with Mariska Hogendoorn, and is about the thin line between perception and interpretation. Flashes of faces with different expressions randomly appear on three monitors, that immediately begin to degenerate into “smears” of color. Because images appear unexpected, the visitor is almost always ‘too late’, forcing him to ‘mentally reconstruct’ these blurry images into facial expressions.

Secret Places is a performance installation by Forced Entertainment with 13 performers of the Rotterdam and The Hague Art Academies. In this 4 hours lasting performance, the performers are sitting next to each other with their eyes closed, telling each other stories from memory.

“Surrounded by 1000 snapshots of the city 13 performers embark upon a marathon of memory. Hundreds of stories are told, forgotten places are re-discovered and fragments of reminiscence are whispered in the half-light. You are invited to eavesdrop.”
